Egg and Bacon on Toast<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Oh, come on. Is it even legal to have fried egg and toast without bacon?! All jokes aside, the bacon actually plays an important role in this recipe.<\/p>\n

Low \u2018n\u2019 Slow<\/h3>\n

By frying the bacon low and slow, you\u2019ll render down all the fat. Doing this will not only leave you with gorgeously crispy bacon, but the excess fat in the pan is what you\u2019ll use to fry the eggs and bread (more on this in just a sec).<\/p>\n

What kind of Bacon to use?<\/em><\/h3>\n

In the UK you\u2019re looking for streaky bacon (which I guess in the US is regular bacon). This tends to have more fat than back bacon, and the more fat the better for this recipe. Plus, streaky bacon is typically skinnier than back bacon, meaning you still get all the flavour, but without it overshadowing the fried egg, which realistically is the star of the show.<\/p>\n
